Mar 17, 2026 14:00:00Teenagers are suing xAI over Grok for creating child sexual abuse content. Furthermore, TechCrunch notes that Musk publicly advertised Grok's ability to generate sexual images and depict real people in revealing clothing, and that 'this will be a major point of contention in the lawsuit.' The second plaintiff claims that the police informed him that images containing sexual depictions of himself were generated by a third-party mobile app that used Grok. The plaintiff's lawyers argued that xAI is responsible for the problem because third-party use of Grok requires xAI's code and servers. Furthermore, they are seeking civil sanctions against xAI based on laws aimed at protecting sexually exploited children and preventing corporate negligence.
